Blurb:
Darien Mackey wasn’t looking for an adventure. For
ten years, he’d been happy living in Brooklyn, working as a butcher in the same
job, living in the same apartment, dating some “nothing-special” guys. Until
one night his buddy Jacob talked him into taking ayahuasca, the soul-changing
drug. And Darien had a vision…of a wolf, its all-too-human eyes on him, its
paws on his chest, its enquiring mind in his own…
Darien Mackey is changing. He’s more confident, more
assertive, hungrier, hornier. And his world is changing around him – his job,
his home, his beloved Mechanic’s Library all falling victim to the predations
of unscrupulous developers, bent on demolishing the old Brooklyn he loves and
replacing it with a forest of condos. But he’s no longer a passive observer of
his own life, and as this thing, this power, grows inside of him, he resolves
to fight back, to preserve the way of life he loves.
And he’s not alone in the fight. The Lipsius
Preservation Society of Brooklyn stands ready to assist in the battle, even
though it seems like a bit of a joke to Darien, with its King and its Duke,
Marquess, Earl and Viscount.
But there’s nothing funny about his growing
attraction to Albeus Finley, King of this mysterious Court. And when slumlords
and condo-mongers start to die mysterious, violent deaths at the hands of
savage animals, Darien begins to realize that something is afoot in Brooklyn –
something supernatural.
And it’s afoot in him, too…

Excerpt:
The
wolf’s eyes were lava-yellow with hate. His growl and his snarl were meant to
terrify Darien, to freeze him in his tracks, prepare him for his death.
Then
something rose up in Darien, rage, frustration, primal energy. And his own lips
curled, his own growl met the enemy’s.
The
Duke retreated a pace, taken aback. Darien felt sharp pains in his palms and
looked down. Where he’d had fingernails, he had claws, long and sharp, and the
fists he was making were digging them into his flesh.
He
smiled, exhilarated, wild. He lunged and snapped at his enemy, knowing that his
canines had become…literally that, elongated spikes ready to tear out a neck.
Darien’s
ears were ringing, something surging in him beyond mortal feeling – like
testosterone but stronger, more powerful, the smell of victory, immortality.
“The
King is mine,” Darien declared. “And I am his.”
He
knew he’d taken a step from which there was no turning back. He was the King’s
man, the King’s consort. He would open to Albeus and take him, and be taken by
him, and he would be alone no more.
He
was one of the pack.
And
it curdled the blood of men for miles around when he raised his face to the
full moon, and howled.

Character Interview with Darien Mackey
Wicked Faerie's - What is the best gift you ever gave?
Darien Mackey - Hmmm…I don’t want to say too much and ruin the story, but
I’d say it was justice. Mr. Nowak and his family got back what was taken from
them J
WF - What was your favorite subject in school?
DM - Woodshop. I loved working with my hands. I was so happy to
come home with something besides a piece of paper, something I’d made, that
would last.
WF - What is the last thing you tell your partner before bed?
WF - What is your motto?
DM - “Perfection isn’t the exception to be rewarded. It’s the
expectation, every time.”
WF - What is your biggest strength?
DM - My work ethic. I worked long, hard hours at Nowak’s Meats
and now that I have my own shop, I’ll work even harder, I’m sure. And it’s
worth every drop of sweat.
